Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire or a circuit. It occurs when there is an electrical potential difference between two points, creating a movement of electrons.
Electric current can be of two types: direct current (DC), where the flow of electrons is constant and in one direction, and alternating current (AC), where the flow of electrons periodically reverses.
Electric current is fundamental to the operation of electrical and electronic devices and is the basis of electricity in our daily lives.
